Annoyed. My weight hasn't moved since the 27th and I will leave it at that. (Where is an annoyed smiley when you need it?)

I'm in! Need to lose 18 to put me at my pre winter weight and 23 to get to my ultimate goal. Honestly, not sure the 23 lbs is even healthy for me (will have to wait and see) but I definitely want to tone up at my prior weight of 135 lbs.

I weigh in on Sunday's... this past Sunday I was 152.2 (only down .8 lbs from prior week)

I weigh myself every day (bad, I know) and I was 144.4 this morning! Not sure how I managed to lose 8lbs. in a week and a half, but it probably has to do with the fact that I was battling an abscessed tooth and couldn't eat. :\ Not being able to eat for about a week will do that, I guess. I don't recommend the "toothache diet" but I can't say I'm too sad about it! haha

Hey Leneisha...welcome!

Pphillips, you have a gorgeous profile pic. Nice choice in men!!!

I had a minor miracle happen overnight. The skinny fairy visited overnight and took away a pound and a half. Go me! Go me! That is putting me at 5.5 lbs to go!

....and another .5 lb bites the dust!! I gotta tell ya, from the "diet" end I don't feel even slightly deprived. This part has been easy. Getting my butt into the gym is my struggle. I know I need to in order to see the changes I really want.

How are you guys doing?

Another half a pound gone. I climbed on the scale 3 times to make sure it wasn't lying to me. lol

That puts me at 2.5 down and another 7.5 to go and 22 days to do it in. What is that...3 lbs a week? (Fingers crossed)

You guys are doing great!! I didn't do any exercise yesterday and am kind of kicking myself. Today is a new day and I have to think in terms of exercising TODAY because it is good for me v. exercising for a short term end result and I missed a day so now...blah, blah, blah. Lots of background noise in my head I need to learn to drown out.

Anyhow, scale still says 216. I am doing upper body today and am going to find a way to work in 30 min. minimum of some form of cardio.

Well I am half way there. I had my weekly weigh in at the gym this morning and I lost 5lbs from last week. Not sure why that high but hey I will take it! Also did 30 minutes elliptical plus weight lifting today. Shooting for staying on track with my calories.

Will be within my calories today and did my 1hr zumba class tonight. Hoping to do an hour in the gym tomorrow (we are supposed to get a nasty blizzard/ice storm tonight through wednesday morning so might not be able to do the gym. But if I am stormed in I will just workout here. Hoping I at least get to the gym tomorrow though for the official weigh in.

YES we r on our way, great work guys. Today I did a pilates class burned 200 cal...haha. Way down from yesterday, but I need to rest my muscles. Calories are in check too so far. I think gardening or any type of activities add up, so garden away...walking is always great! Will weight by Friday , go girls go:)))

Wow...great job you guys. I didn't get any exercise in today. I went to church and then out to eat. I did stay within my calories today. I took a much needed nap after. We had our day light savings time last weekend and I haven't quite adjusted yet. I did weigh myself this morning and I am down 2 pounds.
Can't wait to start again tomorrow!!

700 calories? Wow. That is a LOT of work. I, on the other hand went for a 2 mile walk in the country w/my husband, daughter, and short-legged dogs. I also gardened for an hour I don't think there are much calories to be shed by planting seedlings and weeding. So far so good with the calories. I weighed myself this morning and I was down down .5 lb for yesterday so that is a grand total of one pound gone. LOL I keep telling myself the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step and the journey for a size twelve begins with a 2 mile walk in the country. :-/

Casey I think it's great ur joining! It maybe difficult, but if u need to extend a few days to achieve ur goal, then do that....I am doing the best I can to, altho today I was 130 calories over my daily allowence. That happened bec I drank my calories, I went overboard with the latte. Well that won't happen again! So welcome to the challenge and waiting for ur daily log. Good luck:)

Okay so this is the goal. I started yesterday by tracking my calories and working out in the gym. Today I will ride my bicycle for 30 min. Yesterday I burned 766 calories weight lifting for an 1/12 hours. Sour all over, but a challenge is a challenge.
